 1.4x teleconverter. Newborn Texas Longhorn heifer calf. Mom is friendly towards me and let me get close. This calf has the most beautiful eyes, long lashes. I hope the fenceline shadow doesn't get people hatin'.

I would have gone with "centered" on this one. Nice portrait but the shadow line does mar it.

Not sure if rule of thirds is met? Calf is almost centered in both directions.

It looks closer to center composition to me, but I love how sharp the photo is and the color you captured on the calf. The early morning/late evening sun brings out the color

Hmmm... this image gets me in a cuddling mood ;-)
Pity of the shadow line on her body.
I'm usually confused about the term bokeh, but I think it refers to the circular formed spots you get (due to the shape of the diaphragm) that are typical when you photograph a background with e.g. sparkling reflections of light. So I wouldn't call this bokeh. But that's in my shallow experience and opinion of course ;-)
